I'm actually surprised there hasn't been an increase in the States--these Canadian price jumps are so irregular that it doesn't look like a simple currency thing.
Some lenses went up a few bucks and others almost doubled!
I can see Pentax USA being a little more hesitant to boost pricing though.
But look at the DA*55, not involved in the CDN price jumps. It's $900 CDN (list), and $800 US (B&H), so cheaper to buy up here. Whereas the DA*50-135 is $1799 CDN (list) and $750 US (B&H)!
Is this the new math?!
Or are they just trying to get me to buy a DA*55?
